# Syslog sub-tab

Support destinations are local Syslog destination or remote IPv4 and IPv6 destination. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/763c5fb1-b9af-4ccd-9ad6-cf28ae4cd5a3/Images/Documentation/image-1678980254124.png)

### Configure Syslog Settings

1. Go to *Auditing :: Destinations :: Syslog*.
2. Select **System Console** checkbox to forward syslog entries to the main serial console.
3. Select **Admin Session** checkbox to forward syslog entries to the admin user's CLI session.
4. Select **IPv4 Remote Server**checkbox to forward syslog entries to a remote syslog server using IPv4.
  1. Enter **IPv4 Address or Hostname** (comma-separated list) of the remote syslog server.
  2. (Optional) Enter **Source IPv4 Address** to select the source IP address (and thus indirectly the network interface) that will be used to connect to the remote Syslog server. If no source IP address is configured for the Syslog, Nodegrid will use its internal routing table to route the Syslog packets. If a source IP address not present in any network connection is entered, Syslog won’t work. It will start working properly if any connection acquires the given IP address (i.e. through DHCP or static configuration).![](https://cdn.document360.io/763c5fb1-b9af-4ccd-9ad6-cf28ae4cd5a3/Images/Documentation/image-1753901118486.png)
5. Select **IPv6 Remote Server**checkbox to forward syslog entries to a remote syslog server using IPv6.
  1. Enter **IPv6 Address or Hostname** (comma-separated list) of the remote syslog server.
  2. (Optional) Enter **Source IPv6 Address** to select the source IP address (and thus indirectly the network interface) that will be used to connect to the remote Syslog server. If no source IP address is configured for the Syslog, Nodegrid will use its internal routing table to route the Syslog packets. If a source IP address not present in any network connection is entered, Syslog won’t work. It will start working properly if any connection acquires the given IP address (i.e. through DHCP or static configuration).
